MOB LAW.

No person can regularly peruse one of our great daily newspapers, which contains the history of the world in brief for one day, without being shocked at the number of offenders agalnst the Flaw who are summarily dealt with in a lawless manner, where the crime is one that, in the eyes of the community, demands the sacrafce of the offenders life. The number oi lynchings far exceed the legal hang ings, and many of them are for crimes that the law does not define as capital offences, punishable by death. There is something radically wrong in this. No one can logically defend mob law, because it is a violation of that law which is supposed to be the will of the community as whole, and should, therefore, be omnipotent.

A somewhat new feature in lynch
 ing has recently been presented by the killing of Hong Di in California. This ChiIlaman committed an atro. cioui mu ter for which he was arrest ed and tried, the evidence was con elusive yet, the jury brought in yer dict of guilty, assessing the lower punishment of imprisonment for life, whereupon a mob took the prisoner from the jail and hanged him and the coroner's jury, which sat on the re- mains of the murderer not only justi fled the lynching, but passed long winded censure on the court and the other jury who tried the case. This proceeding was not very astonishing but the fact that large portion of the press of California have been commenting the course taken by the mob and coroner's jury and denoun- cing the court and the legally consti- tuted jury, is astonishing. The yer.
 dict of the jury seems inexplicable; the crime was horrible and the cul- prit deserved the most severe sem tence the law would allow. But it was the verdict of twelve men, legally chosen to be final arbitrers of the case and the men who are now ap- plauding the illegal reversal of their verdict would howl themselves hoarse at any infringement of what they would call "that palladium of our liberty "--trial by jury.

As will be seeu from figures on the fourth page the Atlantic and Pacific Railroad are making a splendid showing as compared with last year. During the first six months of 1887 the receipts have more than doubled. As the thorugh traffic cannot have in. creased in anything like this ratio this is conclusive evidence of the almost fabulous development of this co1ntry, through which the line passes.

While the principle that law should in all cases De respected and obeyed is indispu,able; there have been at times, conditions and circumstances which have made mob law excusable and even justifable. In the early days of western settlement powers have arisen in communities, which were an tagonistic to statutory law and the will of the people and which the exc cutive power was utterly unable to cope with. Here was a condition oi things where the law abiding people had either to crush the enemies of their law or else b: crushed by them. This state of affairs existed more than once in the early days on the Paci- fc Slope. The laws could not be en- forced by the legitimate and proper means. Courts and officials were corrupt and in league with the crim- inal element and the action of the law abiding portion of the commu- nity who took matters into their own hands and dealt out rough, but in the main. righteous justice were doubt less justihable.
 Such circumstances no longer exist. Regularly organized vigilance com mittees are unknown because; where the law is strong enough to properly ad d'ninister its executive functions, there is no need for such an organi- zation. But in its place we constant ly hear of impromptu hanging parties whose actions are seldom excusable and never justifable. If they are cxcusable at all it is in certain un. mentionable crimes prevalent in the south, where negroes are the prin. cipal offenders. Such a class of of. fences, which places the perpetrators beyond all consideration as human being will not admit of calm and i'm, partial judgment. If murderer is taken red handed the law in some cases justifes his being killed, but il murderer is once in the hands oi of the officers of the law, no matter how a,rocious his crime may have been, there is no excuse fol lynching him. The press dispatches when recording one of these crimes, tell us the mob was orderly and com posed of the best citizens and in tho next sentence declare there is no clue to their identity and coroner's jury in their judicial capacity repeat the same statement. The probabilities arc that such a mob generally consists O the worst and most lawless element O the community who under the leader ship of some daring and reckless spirit have a semblance of order whicl deceives people into the belief, tha their lawless acts are prompted by tn, best of motives and that they are so cial avengers, before whom the law and its officers must yield. This is al
 wrong. There may De as much orde and discipline Tn the movement of gang of bandits as Tn a compan! of soldiers.

The unprecedented sale of Boschee's
German Syrup within a few years, has
astonished the world. 1t IS without
doubt the safest and best remedy ever
discovered for the speedy and eifectual
cure Of coughs, colds and the severest
lung troubles. 1t acts on an entirely
different principle from the usual pre-
scriptions given by physians, as it does
not dry up a cough and leave the disease
still in the system, but on the contrary
removes the cause Of the trouble, heals
the parts affected and leaves them in q
purely healthy condition. A bottle
kept in the house for use when the
diseases make their appearance, will
save doctors bills and a long spell of
serious illness. A trial will convice you
Of these facts. 1t is positively sold by
all druggists and general dealers iI the
lard. Price, rs Cts, large bottles.

The municipal laboratory OF Paris has
been engaged in examining the fraudulent
manipulation Of c~offees, the fraud consist
ting in the manipulation Of the green ber-
ries and the moistening Of the dried.
During drying by heat, coffees lose from
II to 10 per cent. OF their weight, accord
ing to their kind and age. To compen
safe this loss the dealers often endeavor
to replace the water, but this Is ONLY prac-
ticable by the condensation Of steam in
the mass. Twenty per cent. of water may
thus be added without the coffee appear
ing moist, but instead Of being hard and
crisp between the teeth the berries are
tough and elastic. Coffee which has been
roasted and then moistened loses part OF
its water on exposure to the air, and to
prevent the loss, the grains are often
coated with glycerine, palm oil or even
vaseline. The densities Of such coffees
are higher than those Of normal roasted
epecimens.-Boston Budget.

this morning in hotel at Park Row

out with the few men who struck,
buy afterwards returned to work
He had been repeatedly threatened
by the Knights, as was also his wife,
and this preyed on his mind and led
to the suicide.
